Overview

The International Relations major at Tufts University provides
students with a multi-dimensional liberal arts education that
prepares them to be successful in a broad range of careers. A degree
in International Relations will prepare students for a career in the
government, the Foreign Service, federal agencies, NGO's,
humanitarian aid, consulting firms, international business,
multinational corporations, and more. In order to better prepare
students to achieve their post-graduate career goals, the
International Relations Program and Tufts University offers a number
of resources so that students may start planning early.

The Tufts Career Center is the primary home of career-related
resources at Tufts. The Career Center is open to all Tufts students
and alumni. The Career Center hosts networking events, career fairs,
interview workshops, information sessions, and more. Students also
have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an advisor to discuss
their personal career goals.

The IR Program strives to provide additional support for
students' career exploration and development through a number of
avenues. These include access to career guides on various
international relations career paths, network building with
International Relations alumni, and job and internship postings in
the IR Weekly email. The IR Program has also compiled information on
graduate study in international relations, which can be found on the
Academics page on the IR website.

Additionally, your IR Core Faculty advisor, other members of the
IR Core Faculty, and the IR Program Staff may be able to provide additional
insights and ideas about careers in international affairs.
